Overview
Over the past 24 hours, MAI has experienced high volatility, with prices reaching a low of nearly 0.91$. This turbulence is most likely attributed to the ongoing repercussions from the Multi Chain Fantom Bridge incident, where Fantom collateral assets used for minting MAI were compromised.
Given the current composition of MAI backing and Aave’s exposure to MAI, we did not recommend any immediate emergency actions.
However, as the market continues to evolve, we propose a cautious strategy of limiting Aave’s exposure to MAI. This can be achieved by implementing temporary actions such as reducing supply caps and debt ceilings across the various deployments. This approach could provide a safeguard against further potential disruptions while maintaining a balanced ecosystem. We will follow up with a separate ARFC with the proposed parameter updates.
MAI Exposure on Aave
MAI is listed in isolation mode on Aave V3 on Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Optimism.
The following table provides a breakdown of the MAI parameters and their utilization across these deployments (please note that the data is accurate as of the time of this post)
| Chain | Current supplied | Supply Cap | Current borrows | Borrow Cap | Utilization | Borrowed Against ($) | Debt Ceiling ($) | LT | Emode LT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arbitrum | 324,040 | 4,800,000 | 255,330 | 2,400,000 | 78% | 88,350 | 1,200,000 | 80% | not in emode |
| Avalanche | 17,750 | 700,000 | 8,776 | 460,000 | 49% | 132 | 2,000,000 | 80% | 97.5% |
